Water Wetter? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

PHOENIX · 02-02-2003, 03:31 PM

As mentioned in another post I will be making a purchase from Summit racing for various items.

I have heard a few of your guys talk about water wetter. Summit has a bottle (12 oz.) that will treat up to 20 quarts. The description reads: reduces collant temperatures up to 30 degrees F. Potects against corrosion and rust.

Sometimes in the summer time my truck gets hot. Its friggin hotter then hell here in the summer. Anyway just wanted to know if anyone uses it or has tried it. Its $8 a bottle and seems like a good price if it works as described. Anyone have any personal expierence or any thoughts that may help me out?

Thanks,

ohh yeah still would like to have a code for summit

I use it in my CRX the header always cooks the rad, but no overheating since I added water wetter. It made a big difference. I don't know how well it will work in a V8 tho.

lots of people use it for computer water cooling setups

I put a bottle in my truck a couple years ago. I couldn't tell any difference, but I don't have cooling problems anyway. I've heard good things about it.

I've tried on my 305 stock setup. I did notice the difference. It was working good but then the water pump failed.

Maybe that was my cooling problem. I have not added anymore since I replaced the water pump. I know I have some left in the bottle somewhere. When I find it I'm putting in.

I've heard that it will disolve paper gaskets. Sort of turns them into mush.

Very interesting. How many of my gaskets will be paper from the factory (crate 350)? Im pretty sure when I replaced the water pump it had a paper type gasket, but I really dont remember.
